Pan with temperature displaying

Abstract

The invention discloses a pan with temperature displaying including a pan body and a handle, a temperature-sensing bimetal element being provided in the bottom of the pan body, a display means being provided in the handle, and the temperature-sensing bimetal element being connected with the display means. The invention can rapidly and precisely indicate the temperature of the pan bottom of the pan so that the user can control the cooking level during cooking. The pan according to the invention is of a simple structure, is convenient to use and is easy to popularize.

1 . A pan with temperature displaying, wherein the pan includes a pan body, a handle, a temperature-sensing bimetal element positioned in the bottom of the pan body and display means located on the handle, wherein the temperature-sensing bimetal element is connected with the display means.  
     
     
         2 . A pan with temperature displaying as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a mounting hole extending inwardly is provided in a side face of said bottom of the pan body, the temperature-sensing bimetal element is provided at a distal end of the mounting hole, a front end of the temperature-sensing bimetal element is fixed, and a rear end of the temperature-sensing bimetal element is connected with the display means via a transmission mechanism.  
     
     
         3 . A pan with temperature displaying as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said transmission mechanism includes metal rods and a flexible body, said display means is a meter panel including a housing, a dial and a pointer, and the rear end of the temperature-sensing bimetal element is connected with the pointer via the metal rods and the flexible body which are joined end to end, wherein the flexible body is situated at a turning point in a transmission path.  
     
     
         4 . A pan with temperature displaying as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein there are two said metal rods and one said flexible body, wherein the flexible body is located between said two metal rods, one metal rod is extended outwardly from the pan bottom, bent upwardly at a certain angle via the flexible body, and connected with the pointer via the other metal rod.  
     
     
         5 . A pan with temperature displaying as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein around said temperature-sensing bimetal element and the transmission mechanism is provided a protection tube which extends from the distal end of the mounting hole all the way to the meter panel along a transmission direction, and the front end of the temperature-sensing bimetal element is fixed to the protection by a hollow head.  
     
     
         6 . A pan with temperature displaying as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein bearings are provided between two ends of said metal rods and the protection tube.  
     
     
         7 . A pan with temperature displaying as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said metal rods are connected with the flexible body through flexible body fasteners.  
     
     
         8 . A pan with temperature displaying as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said mounting hole for the temperature-sensing bimetal element extends to a position close to the center of the pan bottom and the upper surface of the pan bottom.  
     
     
         9 . A pan with temperature displaying as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said flexible body is a spring.  
     
     
         10 . A pan with temperature displaying as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said mounting hole is situated just below the handle.
